SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS This straightening iron appliance is intended for household use. This unit is designed to operate at 120/240 volts AC. Use on Alternat- ing Current (50/60 hertz) only. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fi t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fi t fully in the out- let, reverse the plug. If it still does not fi t, contact a qualifi ed electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. DUAL VOLTAGE This straightening iron will automatically adjust to the proper voltage. Use an adapter plug with correct confi guration, prior to use in outlet. GETTING STARTED The straightening iron’s 25 temperature set- tings and Instant Heat technology combine to provide styling versatility for all hair tex- tures. If you have fi ne hair, a low temperature will provide the best results. If you have thick, wavy or hard-to-straighten hair, keep the heat setting high. You can vary the straightening iron’s temperature according to your par- ticular need! STRAIGHTENING BASICS 1. Plug the straightening iron cord into any household outlet (120/240V). Press ON/OFF button. The iron will heat up very quickly. The power indicator light will remain on when in operation. To turn off, press ON/OFF button again (light will go off). Never leave your straightening iron on and unattended. However, should you fail to turn the iron off, it will shut itself off automatically within 60 minutes. WARNING: The straightening iron’s ceramic-coated plates will get very hot within a few seconds and should not be placed in contact with the skin after the straightening iron has been turned on. Hair should be clean and completely dried before using any straightening iron. 2. Start with a hair section that is 2" wide and no more than 1/2" thick. Open the iron and place a hair section between the two hot plates, close to the scalp. Trap hair between the plates by fi rmly squeezing the handles together. While maintaining the tension, slowly pull the unit down along the hair sec- tion toward the end of hair. For best results, use a light styling lotion before blow-drying hair. At the end of hair section, release the pressure on the handle and allow the hair section to slide out. Repeat process on ad- ditional sections of hair until you achieve the hair style you desire. It may be necessary to repeat process on certain areas, depend- ing on the texture of your hair. Some experience is necessary when learning to use this straightening iron. After using iron several times, you will learn the ideal way to straighten and style your hair easily. 3. To achieve faster styling results, this styler features a unique optional Turbo Heat™ burst. Press the Turbo button to deliver up to 20°C/68°F more heat in the highest setting for maximum straightening. STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE CERAMIC-COATED PLATES The plates of your new straightening iron have an easy-glide ceramic-coated surface, the newest technology. Hair glides easily over the surface of the plates as you’re straightening. The ceramic-coated surface also helps smooth down fl yaways and frizzies. As you smooth each strand, heat is evenly distributed so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shining fi nish. Hair slips right off the plates after it’s straightened, and the ceramic surface is easy to clean. The new ceramic technology is a pleasure to work with because it makes styling your hair easier and the results more professional. The top plate features a fl ocked exterior that protects the scalp from the heat of the plates and promotes smooth, shiny hair.
